We arrived in Montana

We arrived in Montana!  Our first stop was the Mustard Seed...if you haven't eaten there, you should.  It is one of Chad and I's favorites.  We had dinner with Nana and Papa and LOTS of cousins.  

After dinner we drove down to Hamilton to see Nana and Papa's house.  It is the same house that Nana grew up in so the kids were very excited about that!  They even got to sleep in her room that she use to sleep in.  How cool is that?  

Cousin CJ's new beetle!  See Drew waving? Her kids Ashley and Cody are sitting in the back.  Cody and Bryan were fast friends - they spell trouble with a capital T together.  Ashley told her Mom that "Tyler was her new best friend".   Family....there is nothing better!  

Happy 4th of July!

The 4th if July is one if my favorite holidays.  I love the colors red, white and blue!  I start shopping for our outfits in March!  Yep, 4th attire and Christmas attire - I love shopping and planning for pictures.  

This 4th of July was our first 4th in our new home in California.  Our little community has a bike parade for the kids - it was so cute.  The kids had a lot of fun decorating their bikes and scooters.  After the parade we headed home to cool off in our own pool.  Ahhhhhhh - refreshing!  We hung out in our pool and BBQ'd all day.  In the evening, we walked down to our park and let the kids run around with friends.  Then we watched fireworks from our park's view.  Kennedy tried to stay awake.  Our little firecracker fell asleep at 8:55 - fireworks started at 9:05.  I asked her this morning if she saw fireworks - her response, (in a sad voice) "I saw one, not very many".
